The Great Scheme Evolved by q Budding
Statesman from the West.
Washington Special.
Delegate Voorhees,, Of Washington Territory,
to-day introduced, by request, in the House
bill to relieve the Iaboring classes and better
their condition permanently. The preamble re-
cites that large surplus has accumulated in the
United States Treasury and no provision has
been made by Congress to place it among the
people, where it belongs. The bill provides that
any branch of any national trades union incor-
porated under the laws of the United States and
shall be entitled to financial AID from the Treas
ury upon making application for the same,

ments in which it is to be paid, and any other
particulars required to accurately describe the

airy of not more than 81 500, who shall reside at
the place Of business of the branch union, to
guard against incorporation of tho financial
aid granted by the government The special
agent is not to interfere with the business OF the
union, but is to act as bookkeeper.
All money so granted is to bear interest at q
rate not to exceed the necessary expenses in
CURED by the government in paying out the
money, including the agents salary. These
same regulations are to apply in case branch

tablishment carried on by private individual
or q capitalistic incorporation. Any union re-
ceiving aid from the government is required to
give security frst-morrgage bonds for the
amount loaned, and is forbidden to incur any
debt OF sell any stock plant covered by the
mortgage. To carry out its purposes, the bill
provides for an appropriation for the next two
years of not more than $40, 900, coo year, to be

To the Editor OF tho Indianapolis Journal:
why stand 80 here all the day idle7" is a
question that will not be addressed to the women
Of Indianapolis For they. above all others, are
in season and out of season, in every effort to
beautfy and bless their own homes, to seize
upon every opportunity of cultivation in art
music and literature, to be in the van of those
engaged in the amelioration of the
condition Of the poor, to reach out
for !. the heathen in our own
and foreign lands, to give Of their time, money
and Influence to advance the cause Of truth an d
justice in every department of life that touches
the interest Of their own sex. Many of these
efforts, like the great forces in nature work in
the dark and in the obscure places iE the great
social world No ono Of all these agencies for
good in the home Geld, seems to me to have
reached the root OF the evil from which springs
| poverty, crime and all its attendant evils so

| It's members go into the homes of tho poorest
class, take the children from three to six years
of age. train them in habits of industry order

Fort WAYNE, Feb. l6.-A bill known as the
interstate commerce BILL which has passed the
lower house of the Indiana Legislature, and win
shortly come up for discussion in the State
Senate. is exciting the eravest interest in rail-
way circles and in the cities of this State in
which railway corporations have established
shops The bill borrows most of its important
provisions from the interstate commerce bill,
aud aims to make additional revisons in
the local tariffs within this State to
those incorporatsd in tho bill passed at Wash
ington basing these revisions on the length OF
tho haul From its geographical location such
enactments as Indiana may make will affect
nearly all the trunk lines leading from the East
to Chicago. ST. Louis, and other important
points of freight distribution. Nest of these
companies regard the matter as an uncalled for
intermedclng with their business. and declare
that the interstate commerce bill had fully
covered and sufficiently regulated the matter Of
tariff. A prominent lawyer, who is solicitor for
six important lines, said. to-day, that if tho bill
became q law the PENNSYLVANIA Company will
remove. as far as practicable, its great shops at
Fort Wayne, indianapolis, Logansport and Rich
